As we did lastyear, Mary of Popsicles and Sandy Feet and I are cooking up a Mad Men inspired treat to welcome the new season of the best show on TV, Mad Men!

This is gonna be short and sweet because Don Draper is coming on in 34 minutes. I'm staying off Twitter so I don't hear about the first episode.

I believe this season's Mad Men is entering 1964. So, I made a gelatin mold. Sure, I could have made one I found in the issues of the 1964 New York Times, but that was the time when Jello went all savory and, in my humble opinion, kinda gross. I'm not that into shredded cheese, carrots, and avocado in my Jello mold. I mean, I have to eat this mold during the show! So, I opted for CANNED peaches (although fresh California peaches were sitting on my counter) and grape Jello. I think little blond Sally would enjoy it.

Ingredients: Large box of grape Jello, two packages of unflavored gelatin, canned peaches.

love your blog and fabulous photography... found your blog through Delicious Delicious Delicious and I am now a follower... new to the blog world and I always love finding blogs in other countries... have many friends and good times in LA so your blog is a good reminder x

This is my first time viewing your blog. I am a HUGE fan of jello and I LOVE all of your jello recipes. (can't wait 'til Halloween to try the candy corn one) I usually make a nine layered rainbow "finger" jello (5 flavors w/ condensed milk layers in between) for parties but this weekend, I'm going to try out the broken glass recipe, which I normally just buy at Cardena's. Thanks so much!
